Jeff is an exceptionally nice fellow not only in business but 
personally.  You may not have realized it, but he's actually Turkish! 
(His accent is next to zero which I take as a sign of intelligence... 
having an accent doesn't mean a lack of intelligence, but being able to 
learn English without an accent is definitely of significance.)  He has 
sold regularly to various universities in the US and to government 
institutions including NASA.  And his moral alignment seems very well 
aligned and rather close to the "american ethical standard" that no one 
seems to follow.

Okay, truth be told, I once worked for him quite a few years back.  I 
moved on to work for an internet hosting company, but I have been a 
customer and supporter of his for no reason other than I think he's an 
exceptional human being.

Mentioning my name will not affect prices unfortunately, but I'm sure he 
was glad to get a surprise reference from me! :)  Oh, and BTW, they have 
been known to run Linux in their office and are certainly unafraid of 
supporting it to a very limited degree (limited by their current 
expertise in the office at the time).
